Version 1 has been named a Preferred Services Partner in the Claude Partner Network Services Tier by Anthropic, the AI safety company behind Claude. The recognition reflects Version 1’s investment in Claude, Claude Code and Claude Cowork enablement, as well as its experience delivering AI transformation programmes for enterprise organisations.
Version 1 has established a dedicated practice focused on Claude enablement and adoption, supported by Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) and Applied AI capabilities designed to help clients move from evaluation to production.
Roop Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Version 1 said: “Enterprise AI adoption does not stall at the ideas and technology stage, it struggles because of the scarcity of practitioners who can deploy at pace and the structured programmes that make adoption stick. We built our FDE and Applied AI practices to solve exactly these challenges and earning Preferred status within the Claude Partner Network is a key milestone for us. Our collaboration is a joint commitment to closing that gap by combining Claude models with our capability to move customers from experimentation into measurable, sustained adoption.”
James Allen, Partnerships Lead for UKI and Northern Europe at Anthropic said: “Regulated sectors such as Financial Services, Government and critical infrastructure set a high bar. Safety and compliance are features that must be designed in from the start. Version 1 has demonstrated capabilities beginning with its own change framework, Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) and production deployments. This is a partner who has already earned trust in the hardest environments to operate in. We are recognising that with launch Preferred Services Partner status and we are backing it with a joint commitment to scale Anthropic’s product and model adoption across the UK and Ireland.”
Version 1 has been deploying generative AI solutions for more than three years, working with over 100 clients globally. Its FDE and Applied AI practices support customers across sectors including iGaming, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and the public sector.
The company’s Applied AI practice helps organisations move generative AI solutions from prototype to production, while its FDE practice embeds specialists within customer organisations to support adoption and operational change.
